AFSCME Local 77, Duke University
The Local 77 chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees was a Duke University labor union established in August 1965. It initially began as the Duke Employees Benevolent Society in February 1965, led by Oliver Harvey. The formation of Local 77 was directed towards improving work conditions for the working class employees, most of whom were African-American. Members fought for minimum wage increases, improvements in working conditions, and medical benefits for employees. The union members of Local 77 demanded a systematic way of dealing with workplace complaints that were impartial to the Duke University administration. Because the majority of the union's members were African-American, several of the goals overlapped with the ideas of the Civil Rights Movement.
== Historical context ==
The first steps towards inclusion of black Durham residents in the work force occurred during World War II, when the federal government reluctantly allowed black workers to fill up open job positions in Durham, left by those who went to fight in the war. What seemed a promising step towards civil rights efforts faded as soldiers returned at the end of the war to reclaim their positions in society. Both black men and women lost their factory jobs at the shutdown of several major wartime plants that were no longer needed post-war. 〔 Karen Brodkin, Caring by the Hour: Women, Work, and Organizing at Duke Medical Center(Urbana: University of Illinois, 1988), 39. 〕 Oliver Harvey, who later led the organizational efforts of Local 77, was affected by the wartime demand for black employees.
